I believe the Malaysian TV stations have had produced more
current affairs and cultural programs then our Mediacorp. And the
Malaysians paid 0 sen for their TV license. The Malaysians paid 0
sen for their utility bills, if their utility bill for that month
hit 20 RM or less for that month. For us, even if you use 1 cubic
meter of water, you need to pay water conservation tax.
It boils down to mentality, it is either
a. if you collect 100 dollars, you have 100 dollars to spend,
or
b. if you needs 100 dollars, you plan to collect 100
dollars.
MDA will not scrap the TV license fee, neither will LTA remove
the ERP charges for buses.
SMRT always view their bus and taxi operations as separate
business functions from their train operations. In her annual
report, she will highlight the bus and taxi are in the red, as a
public transport operators she should view all their train, bus and
taxi as one single business function, her bus operation should be
viewed as a complementary component to her train operation. At the
very beginning, what strength TIBS has had that she was given the
milk cow??? The then TIBS share holders must be laughing to the
bank.
but dun forget, M'sian those normal tax rates are much higher
than us
not to say they've oil, palm oil all wat's not to survive
on
